A mounted drive is suddenly nonexistent after Get-ChildItem is used with a wildcard

I use this function to mount the drive

Function MountDrive() {}

$name = "Functional_Storage".

$datastore = get-Datastore $name

New-PSDrive-location $datastore - name VimDatastore - PSProvider fs-root "\".

CD FS:

}

I now try to do a directory listing using a wildcard

PS fs:------> Get-ChildItem "something."

Get-ChildItem: cannot find drive. There is no such thing as a disk with the name "fs".

Online: 1 character: 14

+ Get-ChildItem < < < < "something."

+ CategoryInfo: ObjectNotFound: (fs:String) [Get-ChildItem], DriveNotFoundException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: DriveNotFound, Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand

However, if I had just issued a Get-Childitem, no error does occur... How is it that fs becomes non-existent that if I use a joker?

I suspect this might be a question of scope.

You have configured the psdrive inside a function, but you seem to perform the Get-ChildItem outside the function.

I think that the psdrive is available inside the function.

  • All of a sudden, impossible to get on the network with PDA

    I have an office of cable to a WRT610Nv2 with 2 desktops on the network wireless.  I used to be able to jump on and off with my PDA and Netbook... now I can't.  PDA reports a 'Yin-Yang' symbol and the symbol of encryption at the network location...

    Forgot to mention, basic wired computer and two desktops wireless are still working fine.

    Thanks for your reply, but turn the appliance market has not solved the problem... to dig around, I finally found that MAC addresses on my laptop had inadvertently been filtered by software... it sure was not easy to use.  I don't know how it happened all of a sudden, but when I "allowed" those blocked from MAC, everything was fine and I was able to get on the network with my PDA.

  • My hard drive died suddenly, and after that I am unable to find my old favorites (used the synchronization of the former). Bookmarks are on your server, can I get back them?

    I have the key to firefox sync (used for synchronization of the former) and everything, but of course it is unnecessary with the new synchronization system. One of my ideas was to connect to my office computer, sync all bookmarks, and then switch to the new sync - but unfortunately being unused for years, it turns out that the monitor was dead, and the graphics card seemed to be roasted (felt like it anyway).

    Any ideas?

    This may not work (Firefox sync isn't a backup system, so this will probably fail), but it's worth a try:

  • Driver IRQL screen comes after getting the computer error

    I have a HP pavilion with a model number of the p7-1423w bought last November 2012. When I'm on the computer and/or internet I get a blue screen saying: driver IRQL_not_less_or_equal (NETIO.

    JoanieL,

    Turn off the computer.
    That you put it on press the F10 key. This will load the BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load the default values.
    Press F10 to save and exit.

    When the computer starts up, check if everything is working.

    Go to Device Manager and uninstall the driver network card wireless.

    Restart the computer.

    This will uninstall and reinstall the driver for the wireless.

    How long have you had this problem?

  • My hard drive has suddenly changed its format NTFS and I need to solve this problem

    my local C drive has suddenly changed to NTFS after I installed a game (Battlefield 2) and restarted my computer.
    I do not see the memory of my hard drive and I can't open some programs such as AVG anti-virus.

    How can I solve this problem?

    In Internet Explorer, try tools, Internet Options, Connections tab, LAN settings if the box has been checked, uncheck the box "use a Proxy Server" and click OK, and click OK. Some malicious programs use the proxy server to redirect when you connect to the internet. You must then restart in Mode safe mode with networking and download and run Malwarebytes and Superantispyware in accordance with what I posted earlier.

  • My DVD/CD drive has suddenly stopped working under Windows 7

    Ive been using Windows 7 for about 6 months now with on any trouble until recently my DVD drive has suddenly stopped working. Windows detects the drive but when I double click on it in my computer it says please insert disc. I find the drive in Device Manager and windows recognises that there is an error that says:

    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

    I tried to uninstall the drivers in Manager device and rebooted the computer to let auto windows find the driver and reinstall it but to start, I get a message that says:

    Device not installed driver software

    I know that the drive is fine because it works fine in Ubuntu Linux system he worked great in windows 7, so stopped. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Go to the Web site of the factory, download the driver appropriate for your device. Uninstall the driver that is currently installed and uninstall the device in Device Manager. Reboot... After you restart, you have 1 of 2 options depending on how the software is packed from the manufacturing. (A) put an end to the automatic Windows installation feature and use the downloaded software to take care of it for you... If that's how it is set up to operate or (b) wait for windows to auto-trouvez and try to install the device, and when he asked the pilots to open and extract files downloaded to any location you choose and point the installer of windows in this direction.

  • My seagate drive external drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan

    My seagate external hard drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan, it locks also towards the top and turns off, the ext drive when using, I have to restart my IMac 27 inches.  I have two ext hd who does very well for years before the installation of the operating system El Capitan

    If you have installed the Seagate Software, please delete and see if there is no change.

    Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.

    Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.

    I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.

    Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.

    Back up all data before making any changes.

    Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.

    If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.

    Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.

    Hello

    I saw the 0x0000007B BSOD caused by trying to install XP on a disk hard while the BIOS is designating the reader as AHCI instead of IDE. XP has no native AHCI drivers, resulting in a stop 7B. Unless the PC had originally Vista or Win 7, but it might be useful to check that it is not likely.

    If the BIOS is set to AHCI, you could do one of three things (depending on whether your PC has a floppy drive)...

    1 find the Setup F6 disk on AHCI support at installation time (start with the manufacturer's website if you do not already have such a thing). Watch the very hit F6 prompt early in the installation process.

    2. change the setting in BIOS on IDE / ATA

    3. create a new "slipstreaming" installation disc drivers AHCI in the existing installation disc, see http://www.nliteos.com/index.html

  • How to get a Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 pre-loaded drive?

    Vista SP2 installation disc

    I have a DVD disc of installation for Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, with no SP. I bought it retail at Fry shortly after that Vista was released and have used this copy of Vista on an Intel D975XBX2 Mobo. I kept Vista updated with periodic downloads from Windows Update. I have a valid product key provided with the DVD of the installion said. For reasons which are not relevant, I lost the hard drive I was using with Intel MoBo975XBX2. Now, I'm doing a clean install on this MoBo Intel even using the original installation DVD. Because my installation DVD is obsolete, I can't complete installation.

    I would like to get a DVD with SP2 installation of Windows. How can I do?

    You pouvez integrate service packs in your DVD, but everything that it is placing the SPs in the update folder and adding their execution for the installation of Windows script, result being an RTM installation with automatic update for SP1 and SP2, therefore subsequently. Allows you to save a few clicks of the mouse after the initial Setup, but is probably the same that if you downloaded the SPs manually through Windows Update.

    Install DVD with integrated SP2 are available through Technet. If the download is not free. But maybe you know someone who has access Technet, which might give you a disc?

    original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  • Pavilion p6210t: CD/DVD HP Pavilion p6210t drive is not recognized after upgrade Windows 10

    HP Pavilion p6210t DVD/CD drive is not recognized after the upgrade to Windows.  DVD/CD material is: LightScribe16XmaxDVD + / R/RWSuperMultidrv.  I can't find an updated driver for this device, download and install. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    Thank you for your response.  I can't find somewhere - it now despite a lot of research - I read on a very simple solution to this problem which is (was) affecting hundreds of users HP.  In essence, the solution said that the DVD drive has in fact been recognized [as evidenced by his appearance in the BIOS] but has been "identified" and how to fix this problem was to go into the DEVICE MANAGER and delete the incorrect identification reference - then restart the computer and Windows 10 would correctly identify the DVD player and correctly in the DEVICE MANAGER list.  I decided to try this simple fix before one of the more complex solutions that were offered.  The simple solutioon worked!

    In order to do a "Quick & clean" upgrade of a dv6 to 15 t, I restored an Image of my Dv6 to 15 t system.   Windows 7 installs and recognizes the cpu and RAM, but does not recognize the new drive size or especially the network card.    No driver available for ethernet or network or usb 3.0 controllers.   I downloaded and installed via external HARD drive all the graphics and network of the technical support site HP.com drivers.

    Still no LAN or Wireless connectivity.

    Was my Quick & clean strategy a great idea that doean can't just work technically?

    Thank you

    You are the very welcome.

    Since this is a forum for peer to peer and I am not employed by, nor do I represent HP, I wouldn't be able to answer your question about why they have not all the right drivers on a special support page.

    For your model, it seems that it is not supported by HP for W7 64 bit, since there is a very incomplete set of the drivers listed.

    If you use HDMI output or mirror of the screen of your PC, the windows update driver wrecks installed its hdmi output.

    I have the same graphics card than yours, and I leave the same windows update install the new driver.

    When I the screen mirrored by PC for my smart TV, the sound was all choppy after this update.

    I installed this new driver from Intel which also includes HDMI audio driver, and that fixed the problem of jerky noise.

    The first file listed is the automatic installation file.
